We recently reported on Nick Mason's plans to continue his promotion of his wonderful book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd" this month, with three countries due to receive a visit from Nick to sign copies of his book.

He was due to fly to Germany on 10th October, to appear in Hamburg, Berlin and Köln (Cologne), over the following few days, flying back to the UK on the 13th. Today we heard that Nick has suffered from appendicitis - a nasty affliction, going from personal experience! We hear that he is currently recovering from the operation, is doing well, and should be back in action shortly.

The German dates (and we suspect, the Polish and Bulgarian dates) have been postponed, naturally, and as soon as we know the revised dates, we will let you know. In the meantime, our best wishes to Nick for a speedy recovery.
